Las Vegas shooting: At least 50 dead, more than 200 injured in massacre
Las Vegas shooting: At least 50 dead, more than 200 injured in massacre
“A gunman turned a Las Vegas concert into a killing field Sunday night, murdering at least 50 people and injuring more than 200 others in the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history.
The suspect, who was killed, was identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, a local resident. Authorities also said they were "confident" Paddock's roommate, Marilou Danley, had been located. Officials previously described Danley as a person of interest.
Officials did not immediately reveal a motive.
Authorities said one on-duty officer was in critical condition and another was wounded in the shooting. Two off-duty police officers attending the concert were killed.
President Donald Trump*tweeted his condolences to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre, saying "My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!"
The gunman, who fired down on the concert from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, was killed by police.
Authorities first received calls about an active shooting at about 10:08 p.m.*
Country music star Jason Aldean*was performing*at the Route 91 Harvest Festival when the gunfire erupted.
Aldean was performing his last song of the night. Initially, those in attendance said they thought the sound was firecrackers. But as the shots continued, Aldean stopped singing and some concertgoers could be heard yelling to each other to get down.
One witness told KSVN that he heard “hundreds of shots.” The gunfire was rapid and reportedly confused with firecrackers.
"It sounded like a machine gun," one vendor told Fox News. "It sounded like more than one machine gun."

I’ve only been to Las Vegas twice, the Mandalay Bay is the first hotel/casino I stayed at. It’s a beautiful place and has delicious food. My prayers are with the family and loved ones of those killed and the injured. SMH

It sounds very possessed. As if the devil practically gained control over his actions for a while.

With 59 lives lost and 500 injured, it is painful to imagine the losses of the affected families.
